We intended to research changing aspects of Japanese Local cities whih understanding their social structures. TO this aim, we choosed four cities, namely, Obihiro city, Tomakomai city, Sanjo city and Isahara city. But we did not directry carry out comparative studies among those cities as we thought we should research them profoundly in the first stage. Each city has its own social structure and we think present changes happen on the structure in a city.In case of Isahara city. Shozo Otsubo spotted on the social relations between the Isahara Bay Reclamation National Project and people of the city ( not reported yet ), and of Sanjo city Otsubo and Mitsuo Ebira spotted on its changing aspects as a distinctive indusrial town which has edged tool industries (same), On Tomakomai city Masatashi Ikeda reported the inter community problems caused by the Chitose Flood Canal Project. He explored the regional political process evolving from the show down between the promoting groups and oppositio
… Moren groups. Shozo otsubo aimed to get the thorough social structure of Obihiro city and to understand several social changes of the city on the elucidation of the structure. For this purpose he collected any group pr any community oranization which exists in the city during these eight years. By this collecting work he found that the total number of those groups and organizations in the city reached about a half number of the population. Adding this work he gathered every representatives of those groups and organizations to set up social structure of the city ( reported some of them ). Ebira also mentioned about social changes in Obihiro city, especially about several movements of creative farmers who confronted to dratic changes of agricultural industry in Japan.Separately, we showed our final report of this three years Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research. To our regrets we could not show our whole results of our researches. We will write another reports of the research in another chances to write and we have intensions to continue the research further up to have a book.これらによって調査研究が終了したのではなく、さらにあれこれの展開を成し得る素地が出来たと言ってよい。 Less
